The Athletics erased an early three-run deficit with six runs across the fourth, sixth and seventh innings, beating the Minnesota Twins 7-4 at Sutter Health Park. Minnesota led 3-0 after two innings, but Oakland's lineup kept pressure on Connor Prielipp and the Twins' relief corps until the game flipped in the sixth. Alika Williams delivered two hits and two RBI, while Tommy White added three hits and scored twice in the Athletics' fourth victory in their last five scoring innings.

Prielipp kept Minnesota in front early, striking out five across 5.1 innings while limiting Oakland to two runs before exiting. J.T. Ginn gave the Athletics six innings and three strikeouts despite allowing four earned runs, absorbing the damage long enough for his offense to find its timing. Trevor Larnach supplied Minnesota's biggest blow with a home run and finished 2-for-4, but the Twins did not add a run after the sixth and managed only one run in the final seven innings.

The decisive sequence came in the sixth, when Oakland scored four times to turn a 3-3 game into a 7-3 lead. Williams' two-run triple was the pivotal hit, bringing home the go-ahead runs, while Michael Stefanic and Jeff McNeil each added an RBI in the Athletics' productive middle-inning push. White's three-hit night and Darell Hernaiz's two-hit, one-RBI performance kept Oakland's lineup moving; Minnesota's early offense never regained the plate discipline or situational execution needed to close the gap.

The result moves Oakland to 53-81 and gives its offense a clear template: extend at-bats, convert runners in scoring position and let the pitching staff protect a lead once the lineup creates one. Minnesota falls to 64-70 after surrendering the game's defining four-run inning, and its next priority is sharper relief execution behind solid work from Prielipp. The Twins had the early advantage but could not sustain it; Oakland did.
